Gunshot

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

That’s all I ever hear, all I ever see

They say it’s nothing

I say it’s nothing

Not a big deal, no effort whatsoever

But we all know it was the biggest mistake of our lives

It was definitely something people would come to remember long after we have passed

The moment the cold metal recoiled in my hands was the moment I’d never forget

That single spasm of the finger, making it squeeze against the trigger, was not nothing, but something I won’t regret
